Silicone stamping mat has become an essential part of my stamping or other nail art equipment. The one I am showing you today is the smallest one I have, but no less useful than others. It can be bought individually, in set with larger mat or in set with detail brush, dotting tool and tweezer.

Since autumn, Alessandro has had reformulated nail polishes and Gelactic top coat in their permanent range. Apart from individual top coat and polishes in 99 colours, there are also prepack sets - Secret Red, Nude Elegance and Bubble Gum that consist of nail polish and top coat. I have the red set to show you today.

Another bookish polish I couldn't resist is Literary Lacquers Grasshopper With Cotton Candy Hair from Community collection from 2014. Literary Lacquers are inspired by literature, they are made by hand and their prices vary from polish to polish. They can be purchased from creator's Etsy store, but the store is not open in April.

Another unexpected polish that Suzy had taken off my wish list is Color Club Oh Deer! from Cabin Fever collection for autumn 2015. Even Though I am usually not a fan of caramel/ochre shades, this polish is so striking that I had to have it. And it goes so well with my favourite bag.😁 Sadly, Colour Club is no longer available in Serbia, but it can be found online.

Another Zoya collection that I was eagerly awaiting was Enchanted, mostly because of new PixieDust shades. After all, PixieDusts are my favourite textured polishes. Enchanted was holiday 2016. collection and consists of four textured and two classic polishes. They retail for $10 and are worth every penny.

There are many Alessandro nail polish sets, most of them with some special effect. Crystal Punk sets consist of a black creme polish and a topper with flakes in four colours, and I have Green Underground to show you today. Polishes are in 5 ml bottles and can still be found on Ebay and similar websites.

My dear friend Suzana put a lot of effort into getting me some polishes off my wish list last winter (thank you Suzy 💋) and I trust it was odd that this polish was on that list in the first place as it is not my typical colour. China Glaze Girls Just Wanna Have Sun was part of House of Colour collection for spring 2016. and should still be available for purchase even though there is a new spring collection called Spring Fling, as well as Shades of Nude collection.

I have mentioned CND gift sets a couple of times in my reports from Cosmetics Expo, including PrePack, which attracted my attention because it leaves room for buyer to pick colours, instead of having manufacturer's choice of shades. CND Vinylux PrePack consists of cleanser/dehydrator ScrubFresh (59 ml), Offly Fast nail polish remover (59 ml) and Vinylux top coat (15 ml), with space for two Vinylux polishes of your choice.
